What do you live for?

My friend said he'd looked at my blog the other day. haven't posted for a while, but then life is so hectic you don't have time, or you forget, or there's nothing to say....
God's been pretty inspiring recently, but my head's been preoccupied with other things sometimes even so much that I haven't noticed. Have noticed that, without my spiritual family dragging me on, I wouldn't have much of a life. I'd kinda like to be one of those people who just pigs out on junk food and does nothing but watch tv and plays games all day. I'd get bored, then sleep. End up being another number on the list of people who wasted away and was discovered dead an unknown number of years later. Thats not reality, that doesn't help you have a fulfilled life. A fulfilled life is doing productive stuff, being with people, and making a difference. The best way I've found of doing that is by living in community. There's the motivation to do stuff like going to work. People around to give you a kick when you're being lazy, people to help you through the difficult times - ok so sometimes they are the problem, but sometimes I'm their problem! its what helps you to grow into someone stronger, someone who is able to cope with life's struggles. If it wasn't for my spiritual family, I wouldn't be able to cope with other people for the fear that people would just leave me. I know that the people I live with will always be with me/there for me, even if not in person. I'm still learning, and so are they. so yeh, the life which seems so attractive, the life of eating junk when I like, and doing nothing unless I want to, that life is just a distraction that satan puts there to stop me, and others, from doing what God wants. so, what do you live for? or do you just let life float past?
